Cass McCombs’s insta-classic 2003 debut album A is a formidable collection of story-songs and magnetic melodies that stands up today as a foundational document of independent rock ‘n roll to come. Featuring deep cuts ‘I Went to The Hospital’, ‘When the Bible Was Wrote’ and ‘Bobby, King of Boys Town’, A has become a rare find on vinyl and title many have asked him to repress over the years. “A most compelling, sad and beautiful record. (Cass) eschews Nick Drake or Elliot Smith’s hushed delivery for the ramshackle, worn beauty of the Velvet Underground by way of Alex Chilton.” The Times
